Filigree Bookmark

[mimicat]

Hi! Here is another bookmark that is very pretty and a bit challenging to make. It is called Fancy Filigree Bookmark by Cheri Mancini found on her website here (http://www.geocities.com/cherilynm/filigreebookmark.html).
I used Anchor size 10 thread, KAM16 and no.6 steel hook
I didnt make a tassle, but sewed on a button, since I thought I could wear it as a bracelet :hook

That is a beautiful design and I love the thread that you chose!!

That is beautiful!!! Wonderful work!!

[just me]

Beautiful! And what a great idea to use it as a bracelet :manyheart
A quick question -- I was looking over the pattern and it calls for a "Trc" stitch. I've been crocheting a long time and have never seen this before. Does she mean a treble (tr) stitch? A tr cluster stitch? (And if a cluster, how many stitches make up the cl?)
Any insight you can give would be greatly appreciated. :hug

Thanks, mimicat!

Hi! Yes, the trc means a treble (tr). As for the cluster stitch, just follow her explanation for the stitch, which I think she came up with herself and named it chubby cluster stitch. Its fairly easy when you get to it. :hook

I received a bookmark made from this pattern in a swap with the tassel. The pattern is ornate and you have added to the versatility by making the bracelet. What a clever idea and excellent work on the piece!

[JoBug]

Very lovely, and I LOVE your idea for the bracelet!! Great work!!

this is not a good thing for me. or maybe it is, i need 4 more pairs of hands and will live to be 150 years old if i just crochet one of everything that i have plans for at this point. I love bookmarkers and love to share them. I read alot and i think they are works of art.

Wow it's gorgeous and I like it as a bracelet, too. Did you use variegated thread? I love how it's all different colors; it looked like it was planned like that.

Thanks Tina! The Anchor multicolor thread I used had 5 different colors in it. I liked the combination on this one. :yarn
